Quotes

• “If the amount of money going into the war economy were invested in landscape restoration, we would be in a far more positive position. It may get a little dire before we pull together, but I think when the prosperous nations, and in particular the US, realise they're wrecking their own kids' lives, there will be a mass change in value. It will be a difficult century, and ugly, but I don't think that in the end people are so stupid as to kill themselves off.”
• “I think the US is in a terrible state of denial … Worse than that, we seem to be caught in a kind of Götterdämmerung response: we'd rather have the world go down in flames than change our lifestyle or admit we're wrong.”
• “Science is--or should be--the greenest force of all.”
• ““And with our work,” John continued, “we are carving out a new social order and the next step in the human story”—i.e., the latest variant in primate dominance dynamics.”
• “Ridiculous. But lies were what people wanted; that was politics.”
• ““Whenever scientists say they’re Christian,” Sax said, “I take it to be an aesthetic statement.”“The church of the wouldn’t-it-be-pretty-to-think-so,” Frank said.”
